The vendor will have a limited number at this price. But I can't imagine the waiting list will be longer than any other new car in the same segment.

Be prepared for a "Sorry I can't get you one after all. But we do have ...... in stock ready for immediate delivery".

Which is about 9 months going off the last RS. And as for discounts I've heard of them for staff & family, also people who have 'buying clout' with Ford getting them. So people who probably make fleet buying decisions.

So yeah I can imagine this vendor has a some spots on the waiting list with a discount from Ford. But they don't need to sell them below RRP as they will sell above list price all day long for the first year to people who just can't wait.

Dealers have been pulling stunts like this on special editions forever, they want your details but no way no how will you get one this significantly below RRP.

Waiting list is 6 months at the moment.

No showing only £25 discount when i view. Presume the error is now corrected and true price showing. For £25 I think i would rather just go to the dealer and see what extras he might include!

Had a mps , was faster in a line modded vs modded against the last RS but then you got to a corner oO

If only it was a 3 door. Oh well.

Could not agree any more. How something as sporty as a Focus RS can not be offered in 3 door is beyond me, would just look incredible. I don't need those 2 extra doors! It's great to offer the 5 door for people that do, but hot hatches should be 3 door as standard and then offer the 5 door if they can, not the other way round

Good saving, but spoke to ford and they are expecting at least a 6 month waiting list for the RS. They suggested it as an alternative to the UK Mustang, which has a 1 year waiting list!

Looks like a lot of outlay for OLD BILL stopping bait to me.

As an owner of a 2010 MPS its really not. The MPS has more class but the RS is more out an out performance and handling. I'm fairly sure I will be ordering an RS early next year unless the new MPS finally materialises.
